Prachi Patel: How B Vitamins and Large-Scale Research Are Shaping Stroke Prevention
Prachi Patel, Executive Strategic Communications Consultant at Patel Public Affairs, shared on LinkedIn about a recent article by Xinge Zhang et al, published in American Journal of Preventive Cardiology:
”Hot off the press, read all about it: eat your B vitamins, lower your stroke risk.
A new study in the American Journal of Preventive Cardiology found that higher intake and circulating levels of three B vitamins – thiamin, riboflavin, niacin – were linked to lower stroke risk.
And the foods delivering them?
Whole grains, eggs, dairy, poultry, fish, legumes, nuts, seeds.
All likely to be in your fridge or pantry.
But here’s the part I want to sit with.
Researchers paired dietary data from approximately 120,000 women in the Women’s Health Initiative with blood biomarker data from nearly 100,000 participants in the All of Us Research Program.
All of Us is often described as America’s biobank, and it is.
But that framing undersells it. All of Us is a key federal investment that is actively pouring out discoveries that advance the health of all Americans.
Linking real-world and genomic data from a participant community of nearly 900,000 people from across the country and making it available to researchers who are asking the questions that matter.
About the topics that matter.
Stroke risk. Drug response. Rare diseases. Nutrition. Cancer. Chronic conditions.
Every study like this one is a return on that investment.”
